Many thanks to all who have posted updates. The two elders were seen close to shore, from the Lake Walk, across from the Essentia Health building, around 2:30 this afternoon. They were diving repeatedly for awhile, followed by a bit of preening. At one point, wings were raised, and a large patch of white flashed from the flank. One of the birds seemed prepared to rest, tucking its bill under a wing. They showed no inclination to leave the area, and gave great scope-views---especially appreciated for a life bird. Linda Whyte
